How is everyone????

Good luck Amy!! Well I am 9 weeks out today and I have to say I am shocked at how much I can eat already! We had visitor this weekend so couldn't hide I had to eat pizza I could eat half a slice so I managed to hide the rest! I put on 1kg as well but I did eat bad, Easter eggs in the house a biscuit here a chip there as they just slide down!! Dangerous I now know this!! The few mouthful days are over already??? Did anyone else find this? I am finding I am hungry every hour or so and can eat a small amount each time which I could see I would gain weight easily if I give in to this feeling!! Then I don't know of its hunger, head hunger or just thirty as I can't work out the feelings still it feels like hunger but could be anything!! Fighting it today!! I am stressing as I need to lose another 15 to 18kgs feel scared this journey is over already!!

Happy Easter everyone xx

The only thing I am craving is Macca's fries really hot and fresh!!! Call me crazy but even if I could just eat eat one or two I would be good! Lol Weight loss is still moving on the scales am now 82kgs it's moved so fast this past two weeks that has really lifted my sprits feeling much better!! I know it's gonna slow soon I am ok with that Hope everyone else is doing well ????

Hi all I use to be a big runner I did half marathons etc my question was really about how soon after the op can you start running again? I am missing it so much! Been walking since day 3 of op! But iching to run!!!

Hi Leeanne I am hoping for a kg a week especially at the start as I read the 1st 6 weeks people lose big amounts! Surgeon didn't give me any goal weight scales are really moving at the moment so feeling better finally hit 10.1kg loss this morning only another 20kgs to go! Congrats on your 12mth check up you are doing so well you will get to goal ???????? @@nerms wow 75kgs is fantastic only 15 away from 60 you are gonna look fantastic good work hun!!!

Dreaded 3 week stall on Monday which was 3 weeks on the dot it only lasted two days lost 600 grams this morning it's slowing coming off!

I was lucky I was in the holding room next to the OR when they knocked me out, they said they were giving me something to settle my nerves he said to me it will feel like Friday night drinks with the girls lol. Next think I wake up in recovery! I never saw the OR or my doctor for that matter!! It's a good feeling enjoy it

At the end of the night I am noticing my tummy is so bloated!! Does anyone else suffer this? I look pregnant!

. Yes I am starting to think he is a bit hard core I see in America most of the girls start puree at 2 weeks then mushy at 4weeks! I have to do 4 weeks fluid then 4 weeks puree then at 8 weeks I start mushy foods! I can wait!! I found out my sleeve likes chocolate!!! Had a tiny piece it tasted so nice I sucked it till it was fluid lol Been having a milo before bed 85cals it's so yummy I can only drink half a cup! Did really bad today on the calories I went out all day, doctors, shopping etc and forgot to eat so all I had all day was 1 Protein shake and 1 milo with some Water in between but not enough tomorrow I will get more in! If I am home I can sip all day long have to work out how I will get this all done once back at work! Gosh it's hard work! scales are moving again but aunty flo turned up this morning so staying off the scales till she passes!

Mmmmmm gonna buy some skinny cows ????????

I had a look at my paperwork I am on full Fluid for 4 weeks so only 1 week and 4 days to go and counting! No cookbook but maybe I will get one at the next visit which is at the 4 week mark! You gave me some great ideas hun as I am missing spag Bol and potatoes so much!!!

Hi I am in Australia as well My husband at 1st was not happy about me having surgery he also thought it was the easy way out we had a few fights I had to wait out the 12mths PHI so we both had 12mths to get our heads around it! One thing I always said to him is " I am sick of struggling with my weight I need some help I need this tool" he come to understand that I really wanted/needed this surgery! so he ended up supportive! I am 2 weeks post op, he started eating well a week before my surgery and has loss 11kgs and I know he feels really happy with himself! No regrets having the surgery I did it for me and my children!! Do it for yourself ????

I am so over soup and protein shakes I am in to week 3 any advice on what else I could have??
